"An easy weeknight recipe and an interesting variation on plain tomato sauce. Clam juice adds a nice salty bite without tasting 'fishy,' and lime juice lends brightness." — amanda1432

1 tablespoon butter
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/2 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapeno pepper
1 (14.4 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 1/2 tablespoons tequila
1/4 cup water
1 (8 ounce) bottle clam juice
1 pinch crushed red pepper
1/4 pound dried elbow macaroni
1 lime, juiced
Very tasty and very easy to make. A little spicy for my taste, but good. Next time, I will probably use fresh, roasted jalopenos instead to turn the heat down.
VERY GOOD, just like the one that I have at the italian resturant that's in town!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was pretty good. I would add more of the pickled jalapenos next time. Also, I put in the lime juice with the other liquid, instead of waiting til the end.
My husband didn't care for this - thought it was too spicy. My daughter loved it! If I make this again, I'll probably use less red pepper.
I really like this recipe, it's easy and with the exception of the Clam juice, it's all standard pantry items. I will add shrimp next time to make it a more substantial meal, but I am really happy with the outcome. Thanks!
